Hey — I’m Rogan, the creator behind This Bahamian Gyal and your no-BS guide to YouTube strategy, monetization, and building a sustainable channel.
Most people know me from my YouTube channel or podcast, but this journey actually started here: with a blog born out of curiosity, creativity, and a lot of trial and error.
I was born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas, so yes — I really am a Bahamian gyal at heart. Life brought me to Washington, DC, where I continue to explore, experiment, and share what I learn along the way.
Before this, I wore a few hats — radio host, writer, and PR/marketing professional — but launching this blog in December 2017 gave me the creative freedom I’d been looking for. What started as honest lifestyle, travel, and social commentary evolved over time. And now, it has a new focus: helping creators navigate YouTube with real-world strategies and monetization insights.
